Our own Maryam Namazie did a piece featuring Malala recently (link here: Doing the Taliban proud). She links to a really bizarre website. That of a group called sharia4pakistan. They are holding a conference soon, and the big draw card is the issuing of a fatwa against Malala.

What the holy flying fuck? What next? Issuing fatwas at half time during sports events – to keep the punters occupied?

It appears that the Muslim Brotherhood is not bad at Pharyngulating. Mohammed Morsy has >111,000 “Definitely” votes. Kim Jong Un only has 68,000. (I presume thhe DPRK effort is being hampered by only having 5 computers. On dial-up.)

Both are more than the totals of anyone else.

BTW, be sure to vote on all “candidates”, yes or no. And it seems that you can go through it more than once.

I’m not sure islamists have anything to do with it. The person of the year is supposedly someone who was influential not neceserily in a positive way (Hitler won in 38, Stalin in 39 and again in 42), under these conditions Morsi, as a representative of the rise of islamist governments in the wake of the arab spring, is defiantly a legitimate choice.
